*Welcome to 1958, can I take your order: An older gentleman at the 10th green was overheard casually saying to a friend (without a trace of irony), “I hope they do their housekeeping
and their dishes faster than they golf.” Stay classy, Interlachen gallery.

*Pants on, pants off: Lorena Ochoa got the invitation to the pants party, but she clearly wasn’t sure how to RSVP. She slipped on a pair of rain pants in the middle of the fairway after her opening tee shot on 10. After a weather delay, she had shorts on but again quickly slipped pants on over them. Then in the fairway at 11, she dispatched the pants in favor of shorts again.

*How to pass the time during a 40-minute weather delay: one man gave another an impromptu golf lesson using an umbrella (narrowly missing another spectator with his backswing, by the way). … Young boys threw sticks into the pond between the 10th green and 11th tee box.

*Define “trivia”: during the delay, a man casually said to the group he was with, “Trivia question: who won last year’s U.S. Women’s Open?” The only guess: Hilary Lunke (she won in 2003, which was not last year). Satisfied that his audience was stumped, the man triumphantly said, “Lorena Ochoa.” Fortunately, about five seconds later, he also confessed that he didn’t know if that was true. Indeed, it was Cristie Kerr — which was determined after he had to ask several other fans.
